UI - Urban Infill District (Palm Beach County ULDC, UI1/UI2) Lake Worth, Florida
The county's Urban Infill district, one of the PRA (Priority Redevelopment Area) districts governed by the Urban Redevelopment Area Overlay (ULDC Art. 3.B.16). The list here is what ALL of them allow.
The businesses the UI district in Lake Worth allows. The ones on the left are permitted by right; the ones on the right need a special approval first. (Zoning codes are set by each municipality, so UI here means specifically Lake Worth's UI district.)

StandardThe sub-district must be confirmed on the county zoning map before quoting anything beyond the shared list
StandardSupplementary Use Standards (ULDC Art. 4.B) apply to every use regardless of the approval column
The fine print
In plain English
BY RIGHT No hearing needed
If your business is on the by-right list, you can occupy a space in this district and open — no zoning hearing. Building permits and licensing still apply, but the use itself is already allowed.
SPECIAL Approval first
Special-approval uses can work here too, but they go through a public review before opening. Plan for extra time and possible conditions — we'll tell you which path a space needs.
